hi,
Orignially, I have :
*mail_location = mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u*
that I change to : *mail_location =
maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u *
The verdict..; This part : work fine for : *maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:*
but does'n't work out correctly for  : *INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u*
2 possibilities :

I've tried NOT to give access to Mail access on INBOX and I didn't
succeed in making it understand that I want my /var/spool/mail/%u to
move to the "MailDir" part...

I give access to the INBOX. I leave as it is... but the problem is
:Sendmail is using /var/spool/mail%u ( where %u *is a file* ) 
and*Dovecot who needs to get a folder *and to get %u/tmp ; %u/curl;
etc....

So, that way this is incompatible..  what is wrong ??
Please what should I do for this INBOX part ?
Thanks

Hi,
So, I tried to change mbox to maildir.. that sounds to be OK for the
changes... I can create some folders and subfolders. The problem is
that I cannot see any emails arriving into my mailbox
I am using sendmail
I choose the lmtp service for that and I have into Dovecot
Maildir : mail_location = maildir:/var/spool3/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs
service lmtp {
unix_listener /var/spool/mail/dovecot-lmtp {
    mode = 0600
    user = mail
    group = mail
  }
  inet_listener lmtp {
    address = ::1, 127.0.0.1

  }
}
into *sendmail.mc*.. I have :

FEATURE(local_lmtp',[IPC]',`FILE /var/spool/mail/dovecot-lmtp')dnl

But if I add : Feature(dovecot) or Feature( local_lmtp)   it doesn't
compile..
m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:154: cannot open `/usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/dovecot.m4': No such file or directory
So, how can explain that any emails coming into /var/spool/mail has
to be sent to Dovecot ??
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Still looking for the way to create folders and sub folders..
Today, I am using "mbox", which apparently doesn't work for this ? correct ?
mbox has very limited support for folders.
...
So, I would probably need to use maildir.. (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/Maildir/  ]
Today, what I am using is :mbox,which is gather all the mailboxes of user 1, user 2 in one folder... like : mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u

I suppose, that If I am using "mbox" with.. : LAYOUT=fs, I won't get these folders and subfolders ? - Correct ?

Instead of having : "maildir:~/Maildir " which, I suppose got eachuser folder into their own home directory .. correct ? Can I have : maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u?
yes.

...
( I would prefer to gather all users' mailbox into one folder like /var/spool2/mail/ )
3) if so, mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u => can become : maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
yes. And while you're doing this, you might as well start using lda or lmtp and drop the INBOX parameter. There is no need to keep INBOX in /var/spool/mail/%u unless your users expect direct access?
...
What do you think ?... before trying and breaking everything :-)... if so, I will be killed
Thanks and regards
